July 22, 2013 | By Tom Surber

Breakout singing group Cimorelli, a popular favorite among younger music fans, has been added to a robust list of standout acts that will perform on Saturday, July 27 and Sunday, July 28 during the Kroger Super Weekend at the Brickyard at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Cimorelli will perform at 11 a.m. Saturday, July 27 in the IMS Kids Zone hosted by Radio Disney Indianapolis located just north of Pagoda Plaza.

Each girl was introduced to music between the ages of 2 and 4 by their mother, Lynne, who is a composer and former choir director who taught the girls classical piano, three-part barbershop harmonizing and vocal jazz. In 2002, Christina, Katherine and Lisa began to perform locally and recruited Amy and Lauren as they became old enough to join the group. The youngest sister, Dani, joined the group last summer.

A popular YouTube video of Cimorelli signing Miley Cyrus’ “Party in the USA” in August 2009 led to the group signing with Republic Records in 2010. Cimorelli’s YouTube Channel, where fans can watch clips of the group performing songs by Katy Perry, Taio Cruz and Bruno Mars, has more than 2 million subscribers and has amassed more than 500 million views since it was introduced two years ago.

In the process of recording their debut album, the Cimorelli sisters have been inspired to write, sing and perform music by acts such as The Jackson 5, The Beach Boys and Stevie Wonder. The group’s latest single and EP, “Made In America,” are available at all digital retailers.
